Im trying to find a way to automate the download of several csv webpages into a folder on my desktop. The webpage url's use the following format:
[URL]
would it be more efficient to use some kind of batch script?
What I would like to do is take all of the subcategory headings and name the cells they are in to reflect them.
e.g.
E2 has text "Diodes, Low Frequency"
I would like to rename the cell so
Diodes_Low_Frequency has text "Diodes, Low Frequency"
The code I'm using is as follows:
Code:
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Range(E2, AD2)
'Title of subcategory
[Code]....
For this code I'm getting the error "Method Range of object _Global failed"
If I change the code to the specific Sheet4.Range(E2.AD2) I get the error "Method Range of object _worksheet failed"
The actual code to alter the test string works fine, its the selecting the range and writing the cell names that I'm having trouble with.
Couple of small queries that I have regarding importing data into excel from multiple webpages?
I am trying to automatically import data from this site, example page:
Greyhound Race and Breeding
The page numbers go up in increments of one, so the next one will be 3473265, 3473266, 3473267, etc
The problem is that the macro runs but nothing happens.
Further info -
I need this data to import all into one [very long!] sheet

I'm trying to compile a spread sheet that will pull the play by play logs from the NHL website.
The logs are listed in order.
Game 1 is [URL]... Game 2 is [URL]... etc etc
I am trying to put them all on one spreadsheet. (or to do it in batches of 100, or 50 or whatever the size of the file allows)
I have a series of files in *.ew7 format (i know its a random program)
I have some code which i can run which will simply open the relevant file and save it as xls.
The files are saved in multiple folders in format "yymm" eg: 0910 - oct 09.
inside each folder there is a ew7 file for each day in rthe format: "01ddmmyy" eg 01271009 = 27th oct 2009.
I have folders going back as far as may 2002 (in folder 0205) and i need a way to convert these all into xls format and save them in the same location.
I have a collection of about 200 .xls files in a folder, each contain the same macro. I now need to run this macro in all 200 files and save them but to do this manually will take hours. is there anyway to set excel to batch process a macro in multiple files?? Or maybe i can write a new macro to open up each workbook, run, then save and exit??

how to have VBA go in and type words in a field and click 'go', 'search', 'submit'.Vice Versa, If I open a web page (without VBA), How do I make it so that once that web pages opens, VBA is triggered to pull info from a text box on that web page?

Explanation:
I run a workbook with worksheets in calendar months (12)
These consist of names in alphabetical order.
If a new name is added to or deleted from all the sheets (I've cracked how to do this) how can I data sort them without doing it sheet by sheet?
I am attaching a sample excel workbook for reference. I have a set of coded data in numbers in ColumnA, and want to replace them with actual names which are in Column G.
As explained before, I set up columns such that all template number codes are in Column F and names in Column G. The actual raw data in Column A.
However the macro is giving me wrong replacements i.e. if the coded number was 21, its replacement is name2name1 not name 21, I hope you understand what I am saying.
It will save me bucket loads of time as I have a multiple similar columns. I am a novice in macros so I am not sure how to find full numbers (21) and replace with the specific name.
Sub FindReplace()
Dim Frange As Range
Dim Fr As Range
Set Frange = Range("F1", Range("F65536").End(xlUp))
For Each Fr In Frange
Columns("A:A").Replace What:=Fr, Replacement:=Fr.Offset(0, 1), LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

i have read through all threads about permutation, and also a few others. I if I were an Excel Pro I would probably have been able to come up with a solution to my problem based on all the suggestions made, but unfortunately it is (still) all a bit too complex for me.
The problem:
I have between 2 and 5 lists of words, each list in one column:
Column A
red
green
yellow
black
blue green
pink
Column B
shirt
jumper
blouse
coat
t-shirt
skirt
Column C
for women
for men
for girls
extra large
for boys
one size fits all
Column D
I have folder with 427 workbooks in, named TAB001.... TAB427.
These workbooks contain listed tables out of a bespoke apllication. Each workbook only holds one worksheet (which is named TAB001, etc corrsespoonding to the workbook name).
Each worksheet holds in cell A1 the name of the table
I want to rename each workbook to whatever is in cell A1. SO TAB001.xls becomes, say, Property.xls, and so on for all 427 workbooks.
I envisage a new workbook holdinga macro to do this?
I'm using this code to import bulk *.csv files
Sub ImportCSVFiles()
Dim sh As Worksheet, sPath As String, sName As String
Dim R As Range, fName As String
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
But I've noticed that on import run, the macro mixing the ascending order of the files.
An example:
Inside my_folder I have 3 csv files:
advertise.csv
adwords.csv
adwords keyword tool.csv
When the macro runs, it takes advertise.csv as the 1st. (Thats Ok) then adwords keyword tool.csv data
before thaking adwords.csv
(I have over 100 files to import, so you can imagine the mess I'm facing..)
I have a sheet which is a basically my template, it has a bunch of formulas etc on it
I need to create about 200 copies of this exact sheet and its formatting etc, is there anyway you can bulk copy a worksheet or does this need to be done individually?
How do I copy 100 email addresses at the top of an email and post them in an Excell spreadsheet where each email address is in one cell i.e. 100 cells?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to compare deductions from two different pay periods. I have the Data from check 1 & check 2 on different worksheets, in no order, and would like the data to auto populate on a third worksheet into a side-by-side comparison of the data. The problem comes when there is a deduction missed or a new deduction that only shows up on one of the two checks. I am having to manually insert lines to make my side-by-side comparison match. Is there a macro or something that can pull the data from these two soures and display them in a side-by-side comparison even if there is no match?

Now what I want to be able to do is when I add a new row to worksheet 1, in this case row 3, then the references in worksheet 2 either to automatically (or manually do it in one simple go) increase by one and now refer to the new row. So the references now become =A3, =B3, =C3 etc.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel spreadsheet with a list of numbers in column A. These are all "random" numbers in that they don't follow an order, but they mean something elsewhere.
The rest of the columns have other information that is related to the number in the same row.
I have another list of random numbers which is much smaller than the original, but all of the numbers on the smaller list (which is in a different excel document but can easily be put in its own column) are in the larger list as well..
I want to compare the two lists, and if the number from the smaller list is found on the larger list, I want the entire row deleted and all the remaining cells shifted up. I do not want any blank rows between the data.

I have several thousand text files, each with three columns of numbers. My goal is to convert each of these to a dbf file with three distinct columns (which is why simply renaming each with .dbf at the end doesn't work.) I can do this for an individual file by using the "Import External Data" Tool in Excel, selecting the "Fixed Width" option (which divides the figures into three distinct columns), and then saving the file as a dbf. I need to do this for several thousand files, however, so I can't do each by hand.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was trying to run the shell command in VBA (excel2007) on a .BAT(batch) file. While running the macro, the DOS command prompt appears and goes away in a flash but the function of the .bat is not performed which makes me think that the shell command isnt functioning properly. I had this proper earlier also with a few Exe's.
the line of the macro that calls is (c is the path for the batch file) :
Call Shell(c, vbNormalFocus)
Could any of you help me with some suggestions regarding this problem.
Just to confirm, the batch file on itself works absolutely fine and it looks like it doesnt take more than 2 seconds to run it. It also does not wait for any input from the macro. it is an individual batch just included in the macro.
